yeah but how many employees? maybe they don't work there anymore. the user stopped buying. most of the networks are gone....

How many employees is unknown and irrelevant. Once its coded and working TE owner would not need but maybe a few for giving support and managing the script.

If user stopped, or cancelled subscription, then they can't use the script anymore. And, obviously the user is not making any money anyway.

If user changes to Free version then they get skimmed 5% of their traffic to whichever site based on the type of site, to TE's choice of site(s) based on the users 'niche'.

Besides ... If they did all of this, their user base would only rise and they would make more money. Allowing to use, or pay, or hire whomever to manage the base code of the script. Support would be easy and cheap; hire a couple people just for answering support. It's the coder and manager of this script that would need to be available on a long term basis after it is all stable and working as needed. As it is, or seems to be already.

This is where it all counts and how the TE owner makes their money ..

When the user installs TE, they need to choose which type of site and niche that best suits the site the user is using it on. This way, TE can assign what skim links to send out to best make them money.

This is all too complicated how about a show of hands if you are willing to pay $20 a month for the script, no other explanation.

I spend more on beer a day than $20 if you have to think twice about spending $20 on a script that will benefit your traffic you should go apply as a dish washer at your local burger joint. The problem with so many in porn is they try to save money not think how to make money.

Yep I'll need at least 2 licenses now and a 3rd to follow

From memory, I think we paid around $350.00 per license about 5 years ago. If they were doing a $20 a month subscription back then we would have paid over $2,400.00 by now and we would have been quite happy to do it.

Even if they only had say 50 customers, thats still $12,000.00 a year for basically doing nothing !

ALL software is subscription based these days and those that aren't go out of business real quick.

well good luck on them setting up subscriptions...

True. Ive suggested it to them dozens of times but they dont seem to be at all interested

It wouldn't be that hard to setup either as the software already pings their servers every time the cron runs to check if you have a paid license or not. All they would have to do is setup monthly billing with ccbill or whoever and they would be more or less good to go

They would probably sell at least 10 - 15 licenses from this thread alone

Maybe Butcher could try reaching out the them again as they seem to ignore me ??

like i said before. they need income. maybe that is not there. so those coders are gone...

I know it's not a secret.. I'm just saying that is how they make their money form the free skim. Which, obviously, they are not updating their skim links. If they did they could make some money, or even SELL the skim traffic to someone.

I beg to differ because the free skim traffic is worthless and they were probably getting so little of it with less people trading it made no sense to bother updating the script.

I would agree. We can spot skimmed traffic coming from our affiliates a mile away by looking at the percentage that click through to the join page

With good click thru traffic, the join page clicks is over 30%. Even higher if they link directly to the webmodels page

With skimmed traffic, the precentage drops to 1 or 2% and they VERY rarely make a signup

I sent another ICQ to Alex yesterday with a link to this thread. I told there were people here wanting to pay him good money for his script
